Gaming room (It's a geeks paradise)

[Keef]

Agree with you Piers RE the Zelda games, the story is tired.

Windwaker was a bit different, but all the sailing around got annoying... Windwaker was meant to have been the future of one time line of Ocarina of time, and TP carries on from another or something like that...

I would prefer it if they would just make NEW games featuing the SAME Link, rather than some kid in a village somewhere who bares a resembalence to the hero of time and all that bo!!ocks.

Having said all that, I really enjoyed TP, especially a couple of new bits like chasing down the carriage on your horse and shooting arrows whilst riding. And the final one on one swordfight was cool!

Oh, and the cave of ordeals or whatever it was called was a bit of a mission... Took me several tries to get through all 50 rooms (having once failed on room 49... I literally throw the controller and screamed). The sense of acheivment after that was better than finishing the whole (basically quite easy) game!

anybody do second life here?

[mockney piers]

Even I'm not that geeky ;-)

[Brendan]

I dabbled, got engrossed for a few weeks then lost interest.

Anyone got any use out of a Wii Fit board yet? I have mine sitting under my desk ad am hoping to take a POET's friday.

[ratty]

Right - Sean M just pointed me to this part of theboard!

Got a wii last night - great fun!

Anyone know where i can get it chipped?

[mockney piers]

chipping a wii just feels wrong, like hitting a child or something...xbox, fair game, wii, nooooooo.

[ratty]

Yeah but paying for things just feels wrong too! ;)http://img61.photobucket.com/albums/v185/MemoryLane/bolt.gif

Am reinstalling Hearts of Iron II tonight on my Mac. It's a totally nerdy WWII simulation/management game that takes hours to play and is really involving.

Just finished Bioshock on the Xbox 360 - loved the story and atmosphere, was probably a bit too easy for my liking though.

CofD III is still my fave, apparently they're going back to WWII for CoDV. As you can probably tell, I like WWII games.

[SeanMacGabhann]

re: Bioshock - what about THAT moment near the end?

One of my favourite gaming moments in many a year

[mockney piers]

Yeah, alriiiiight, I'll finish it already!!!

[Floating Onion]

So when are we going to get some ED gaming going?

[SeanMacGabhann]

After tomorrow i cant see me spending game time on anything other than gta iv

[Floating Onion]

Forgot it was coming out. Never tried the GTA series, but IV looks very good. With online as well.

[SeanMacGabhann]

picked up mine this morning (had to queue for 40 minutes mind you)

[ct]

luckily no queues in brixton's woolies this morning.

Feel like a kid again, can't wait to get home and grab a quick hour or so before the united game.

definitely downing tools at 5.30 tonight to get home asap

just great reviews everywhere

GTAIV reviews

[Keef]

Damn it, why did I chose Wii?

[Floating Onion]

I might need to go shopping!

[Ant]

Bugger. I was all set to get a Wii and then those GTA IV reviews came along and muddied everything up again.

[SeanMacGabhann]

another 3 hours yesterday - a few more missions just to open things out a bit and the story appears to be better written/acted than before

but it's isn't all about that - the living breathing city is.... stunning. The amount of "things" that just happen is incredible...

some random examples

[Ant]

Seriously bad case of Friday can't-be-arsed syndrome.

Sorely tempted to leave early and peruse games consoles in shops.

Must... resist...

[mockney piers]

ha ha, that's exactly what I'm about to do.

Do eeeet, dooooo eeeeet

[ct]

I cant make my mind up about GTAIV yet.

So far the gaming is quite simplistic. I guess (and hope) its part of training for harder missions.

If nothing else it's like immersing yourself in sopranos for 1/2 an hour with a little more control.

[Ant]

Oh man... where are you headed to Mockers?

[mockney piers]

Think I'll wander down to zaavi on Tottenham Ct Rd, probably for mario karts.
